“Twinkling Watermelon” has shared a sneak peek of the first episode!
“Twinkling Watermelon” is a fantasy coming-of-age drama in which a CODA (child of deaf adult) student born with a gift for music accidentally travels back in time to 1995 through a suspicious music shop. There, he forms the band Watermelon Sugar with other mysterious youths.
Ryeoun will star in the drama as Eun Gyeol, the only person who can hear in his family, who leads a double life as the perfect model student by day and a band guitarist by night. Choi Hyun Wook will take on the role of the passionate Lee Chan, who is full of Generation X vibes. Seol In Ah will transform into Seowon Arts High School’s cello goddess Se Kyung, while Shin Eun Soo will play the cold and haughty “ice princess” Chung Ah, who has been deaf since birth.
The newly released teaser gives a preview of the first episode in which Lee Chan is working part-time at the ice cream store Se Kyung visits. When Lee Chan holds up an ice cream cone with four scoops of ice cream, Se Kyung coldly remarks, “That’s not what I ordered.”
Lee Chan insists that the order is correct and comments, “It’s watermelon sugar [flavor], right? I very slightly and gently added my feelings on top.” Se Kyung remains unmoved as she responds, “I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can carry that,” prompting Lee Chan to carefully deliver the ice cream to her table.
However, when Lee Chan’s friend suddenly appears with news that his grandmother is on the way, Lee Chan is quick to run away after introducing himself to Se Kyung. He bids farewell by saying, “Let’s meet again.”
Check out the teaser below!
